unstably allow constants to refer to statics and read from immutable statics
I am not aware of any fundamental reason why we cannot allow constants to mention statics. What we really need is that constants do not *read from* statics that can change their value:
- This would break the principle that "constants behave as-if their expression was inlined everywhere and executed at runtime". This is enforced by halting const-eval interpretation when a read from a mutable global occurs.
- When building a valtree we want to be sure that the constant and everything it refers to is truly immutable. This is enforced by aborting valtree construction when a read from a mutable global occurs.

Allow restricted trait impls under `#[allow_internal_unstable(min_specialization)]`
This is a follow-up to #119963 and a companion to #120866, though it can land independently from the latter.
---
We have several compiler crates that only enable `#[feature(min_specialization)]` because it is required by their expansions of `newtype_index!`, in order to implement traits marked with `#[rustc_specialization_trait]`.
This PR allows those traits to be implemented internally by macros with `#[allow_internal_unstable(min_specialization)]`, without needing specialization to be enabled in the enclosing crate.
Remove unnecessary `#![feature(min_specialization)]`
As of #119963 and #120676, we can now rely on `newtype_index!` having `#[allow_internal_unstable(min_specialization)]`, so there are a few compiler crates that no longer need to include min-spec in their own crate features.
---
Some of the expansions of `newtype_index!` still appear to require min-spec in the crate features. I think this is because `#[orderable]` causes the expansion to include an implementation of `TrustedStep`, which is flagged with `#[rustc_specialization_trait]`, and for whatever reason that isn't permitted by allow-internal-unstable. So this PR only touches the crates where that isn't the case.
Turn the "no saved object file in work product" ICE into a translatable fatal error
I don't know if it's fair to say this fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120854 but it surely makes the error reporting better and should encourage people with good instincts like ```@CinchBlue.```
Loosen an assertion to account for stashed errors.
The meaning of this assertion changed in #120828 when the meaning of `has_errors` changed to exclude stashed errors. Evidently the new meaning is too restrictive.
Fixes#120856.

Clarify that atomic and regular integers can differ in alignment
The documentation for atomic integers says that they have the "same in-memory representation" as their underlying integers. This might be misconstrued as implying that they have the same layout. Therefore, clarify that atomic integers' alignment is equal to their size.
Remove support for `associated_type_bound` nested in `dyn` types
These necessarily desugar to `impl Trait`, which is inconsistent with the `associated_type_bound` feature after #120584.
This PR keeps the `is_in_dyn_type` hack, which kind of makes me sad. Ideally, we'd be validating that no object types have associated type bounds somewhere else. Unfortunately, we can't do this later during astconv (i think?), nor can we do it earlier during ast validation (i think?) because of the feature gating of ATB being a *warning* rather than an *error*. Let me know if you have thoughts about this.

static mut: allow mutable reference to arbitrary types, not just slices and arrays
For historical reasons, we allow this:
```rust
static mut ARRAY: &'static mut [isize] = &mut [1];
```
However, we do not allow this:
```rust
static mut INT: &'static mut isize = &mut 1;
```
I think that's terribly inconsistent. I don't care much for `static mut`, but we have to keep it around for backwards compatibility and so we have to keep supporting it properly in the compiler. In recent refactors of how we deal with mutability of data in `static` and `const`, I almost made a fatal mistake since I tested `static mut INT: &'static mut isize = &mut 1` and concluded that we don't allow such `'static` mutable references even inside `static mut`. After all, nobody would expect this to be allowed only for arrays and slices, right?!?? So for the sake of our own sanity, and of whoever else reverse engineers these rules in the future to understand what the Rust compiler accepts or does not accept, I propose that we accept this for all types, not just arrays and slices.
Abstract more over ItemTreeLoc-like structs
Allows reducing some code duplication by using functions generic over said structs. The diff isn't negative due to me adding some additional impls for completeness.
Use `ensure` when the result of the query is not needed beyond its `Result`ness
while I would like to just remove the `tcx` methods for ensure-only queries, that is hard to do without another query annotation or by turning the `define_callbacks` macro into a proc macro to get more control
should fix perf regression of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120558
Remove the FIXME and keep `CRATE_HIR_ID` being its own parent.
This scheme turned out to be more practical than having an `Option` on closer inspection.
Also make `hir_owner_parent` more readable.
